Lovely to watch the cows as we ate ice cream and during breakfast. Staff were great. Dine in option at the restaurant was appreciated and most convenient. Room itself was rustic. Door gap allowed cold air to enter room - not ideal. Shower was also difficult to operate - hot and cold not consistent. Rain shower head worked but hand held did not. Bed linens had waffle weave pattern which was rough and coarse on skin - great looking but not comfortable.

The hotel is a ways off from the reception and restaurant. You’ll want to drive back and forth since it’s too cold and slippery to walk. We had a room on the view side and it was beautiful. The room was clean and spacious. It has floor heating which was nice but too hot at night. We turned it down before bed but it was still too hot and stuffy so we opened the window but it still wasn’t enough. The walls are also very thin. We could hear all our neighbors talking, using the shower, and awkward encounters. They woke us up early. The room is nice and reasonably priced but I wouldn’t stay again since I like my sleep. The food at the restaurant is delicious.

I had the most magical stay at this hotel. It was like walking into a christmas movie or something. The restaurant was delicious and you could tell it was all very fresh! Make sure you get some ice cream too, it will change your life. The rooms are like little cabins and they're so cozy and cute. We lucked out and ended up getting to see the most incredible Northern Lights show the night we stayed here, it was just so magical. It also started snowing literally as we turned to go up the driveway. It was like a winter wonderland or a fairy tale or something. They have all the cows grazing that you can watch from dinner or on the main level, and even some little calves too. They were so cute. This would be a perfect place to stay if you plan on doing the golden circle tour as it's pretty centrally located to most of the locations. And definitely check out the geothermal pools just a quick drive down the road!

The cows eating outside the window of the restaurant really gave meaning to the phrase “farm to table”! Staff pleasant but a few lessons on enhancing the guest experience would improve most ratings. Would stay here again.

Excellent service. Quiet and remote with walking paths and big bounce pad for the kids. Fresh ice cream was amazing. Restaurant on property had good food but somewhat limited choices. Although food was expensive it was in line with other restaurants in the area.
